Trumpeter 1/700 USS Missouri

The decks were natural wood, a light tan when dry but changed to a dark tan / light brown when wet. You want overhead pics of her in color, watch the first "Under Siege" movie with Steven Segal in it. There are several scenes of the ship under way in it.

Thanks Warhorse3 for you suggestions.  Since this model is of its last voyages before returning to the mothball fleet, where the decks still the teak/yellowish color?  I found a lot of WWII and other profiles of the ship but not a lot from the sky and none of any color.

I built the Trumpeter New Jersey using Campbell's fine model railroad chain. It's fairly close in size. I wouldn't rely on the box art or even the provided painting guide as I have built other Trumpeter kits and the guides weren't accurate to say the least. I would also suggest that if you opt for the full hull join the upper and lower sections as your first step as the parts usually have a prominent mismatch.
